hi there!
Welcome to the Altenew May 2019 Stamp/Die/Stencil/Ink/Enamel Pin Release Blog Hop + Giveaway. You must be arriving from May's blog! Altenew has just released a brand new set of stamps, dies, stencils, inks and some super cute enamel pins. I am always so excited when Altenew invites me to take part of their release celebrations, and this time the products are sure to have been so inspiring, i couldn't put them down. So let me show you what i have created:

One of the first things i added to my product list once i received the catalogue was the Fine Floral Bouquet Die. I love the delicate edge, and how versatile it can be, so i decided to use it to create a layout for my Family album (Citrus Twist Kits). My thought was to replicate a lace border, so i cut a few of the images from white paper.

Love how the delicate die cuts frame the picture and the entire page all together, plus all the sentiments clustered to form a title, just loved it... Now let me show you another layout created with the Delicate Clusters Stamp and Die Set and lots of color.

To finish the page, a few colorful butterflies from my stash and a few wood veneer pieces from the Altenew collection. Just love the colors and movement in the flowers, and how everything just shows Spring on a page..

One of the new releases is the A Walk In The Woods stamp set, and probably a new favorite of mine. I love wood grain finishes, but this is a set that can easily be used to create masculine pages like this one, so sit down and enjoy the next video:

The idea was to create a wood grain background with some hearts cut from the bark of the tree (I used the Halftone Hearts die set for this).

I love the stamp set and it is now on a handy spot where i can reach for it easily as well as the new Dare to Dream stamp set. A buildable stamp is always handy, but the interchangeable designs in this one make it a must in your stash!

Let me start by saying that unfortunately i mistakenly erased the footage for the process video of this page, so i have to talk through how i created the background. The square tile design in the Dare to Dream stamp set was the inspiration for this page. So i matched it to some of the colors of the pictures and created a background on white cardstock ). I drew a pencil line and then created a small mask that help to keep the lines somewhat straight.

Next, I pulled some blue cardstock and heat embossed -in white- one of the stamp's images. I cut each title separately, and used some foam adhesive to attach it above the stamped background.

I followed the same idea for the background of this card, however i omitted the washi tape. I used foam adhesive to add the images and frame the center of the card. For the sentiment, i chose the new Fancy Greetings stamp set

That was a long and lengthy post, but i did warn you i had a lot of fun with the release. But now it is time for GIVEAWAYS.

Thank you so much for visiting today, it is now time to continue onto Agnieszka's Blog... Remember to can come back here to start the hop, or visit the Altenew Card Blog or Altenew Scrapbook blog to meet all the participants. Here is a list -for your convenience-of all the participants:

Your creativity astounds me! Your use of color and design, the layering. I love your traveler pages, and the process videos make it easy for me to re-create your ideas. Those cards are stunning with all the layers and the gold doily rocks. Thanks for sharing all these gorgeous ideas with us here today!

Love your scrapbook size, do you have page protectors in it also and what is the size? Your layout with the dies is magnificent and darling picture and love the sentiments you chose. Soooooo creative and inspiring as you are sooo talented.

the Life Crafted album fits the standard traveller's notebook page ( 4x8.25 in an insert or 5x8.25 with out it). Check Citrus Twist Kits,as these albums are only available there; you will find page protectors, different page configurations for pocket pages and other color albums

So many beautiful samples. Your first album pages is so simple but stunning. My favorite set this month is the delicate clusters. And it was a brilliant to use idea the walk in the woods stamp to make a masculine page for the album. Perfect!

WOW, Nathalie, your layouts and cards are so awesome! Your creativity is so inspiring and you really showcased the new Altenew products! Thanks for making videos showing us how you created your beautiful projects!

As if I wasn't already in love with the Dare to Dream set! The blue and white tile look makes me feel like I'm at a Mediterranean villa (which is especially nice since there is currently snow on the ground outside my house). Really, I don't think I leave a comment long enough to do your post justice; you just make so many gorgeous projects! Thanks for sharing all these amazing ideas with us.

Every one of these projects is amazing. And thanks so much for the videos. They are so helpful when I'm trying to learn how to use all these great products. Your "tile" pages are amazing. They look so perfect with the swimming pool picture. Great inspiration!

Just bought this set (ornate foliage) and was looking for inspiration when I saw your creations on the Altenew page. I would love to know what colors you used in the blue and pink flower cards. So pretty.
